The best method to identify a classic “price action reversal” is for an hourly candle to close, such as a pin bar, a doji, an outside or even just an engulfing candle with a higher close. You can exploit these levels or zones by watching the price action that occurs at the given levels.
GBP/USD Analysis
This pair was looking bullish yesterday, having room to rise all the way to 1.4168 as I noted. The price initially rose very strongly but then fell right back to the area where it started by the end of the day, in fact even lower, as it broke and invalidated the former support at 1.3963. The Pound now looks less bullish than the Euro, even though there is still support here at 1.3914, and a long-term bullish trend. It is difficult to forecast today’s movement, but the line of least resistance still seems by a small margin to be upwards.
There is nothing due today concerning the GBP. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Core Durable Goods Orders and testimony before Congress by the Chair of the Federal Reserve at 1:30pm London time, followed by CB Consumer Confidence data at 3pm.
